The modern theory of Markov chain mixing is the result of the convergence, in the 1980’s and 1990’s, of several threads. (We mention only a few names here; see the chapter Notes for references.) For statistical physicists Markov chains become useful in Monte Carlo simu-lation, especially for models on nite grids. The mixing time can ...

Nov 7, 2018 · The notion of a phase transition in statistical physics models such as the Ising model corresponds to whether, in the natural associated Markov chain, \(\tau _n\) increases polynomially or exponentially in n. In using the Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) method to reveal posterior distributions in complex big-data Bayesian statistics models ...

4 others. contributed. A Markov chain is a mathematical system that experiences transitions from one state to another according to certain probabilistic rules. The defining characteristic of a Markov chain is that no matter how the process arrived at its present state, the possible future states are fixed. In other words, the probability of ...
Markov Chains and Mixing Times is a book on Markov chain mixing times. The second edition was written by David A. Levin, and Yuval Peres. Elizabeth Wilmer was a co-author on the first edition and is credited as a contributor to the second edition. The first edition was published in 2009 by the American Mathematical Society, [1] [2] with an ...
A Markov chain or Markov process is a stochastic model describing a sequence of possible events in which the probability of each event depends only on the state attained in the previous event. Informally, this may be thought of as, "What happens next depends only on the state of affairs now."
So we made it a trilogy: Markov Chains Brownian Motion and Diffusion Approximating Countable Markov Chains familiarly - MC, B & D, and ACM. I wrote the first two books for beginning graduate students with some knowledge of probability; if you can follow Sections 10.4 to 10.9 of Markov Chains you're in. The first two books are quite independent ...
